Actually, there are ways of preventing your posts from being archived.

That is true, however that doesn't stop some from snipping and pasting
parts of your postings out of context, and then reposting for their
own agenda. Thus having your originals in the archives to prove what
you actually said can be of benefit.

Still, protecting your privacy as much as possible is important when
it comes to newsgroups! There is an over abundance of idiots and busy
bodies out there, seeming hell bent on investigating into the afairs
of of others, and then rather misguidedly jettisoning that information
to this forum, or using it to contact aging parents, children,
employers, etc.

Just be cautious!
